New Materials Technology Makes Everyday Earth Day

April 02, 2009

Going Green Consumer II, Earth Day -- (BUSINESS WIRE) -- When people think of environmental awareness, they tend to think of fuel consumption and carbon emissions. But our concerns shouldn't stop there. "The materials used in manufacturing and shipping impact everything from depletion of natural resources, to being smarter about recycling and fuel consumption," says Wayne Rodrigue, Chairman & Chief Executive Officer of Texas-based Exousia Advanced Materials. "A reconsideration of materials technology is vital if we are to begin to get serious about the environment." Exousia is creator of two core advanced polymer materials, RPA(TM) Resin and VISTAMER(R) engineered particles, that are used in an array of products including proprietary resins, additives, industrial coatings, and structural materials used in the manufacturing and construction industries. "RPA Resin is an eco-friendly alternative for the transportation and plastics industry," explains Mr. Rodrigue. A proprietary resin that bonds rubber and plastic, RPA overcomes problems of poor strength and performance, provides a degree of rubber-plastic compatibility not previously achieved, and results in highly improved tensile strength and elongation capability. RPA solutions can be developed to replace wood, nylon, fiberglass, Luan, and other natural and plastic materials across a wide range of applications.
